Dhahran is Aramco and Aramco is Dhahran. The Steineke Guest House ( which was named after an early oil explorer) is a wonderful place to stay. The Cafeteria had great food and the Commissary is around the corner. We had four stops this morning which gave us a good foundation of the history and material culture of Saudi Arabia. We get our abiyah's measured tomorrow, so we will look forward to being able to appear in public with them on. The most exciting project being developed in Saudi Arabia in the cultural center that Aramco is building for the country. It will be a revolutionary concept for the Kingdom, with a cinema, theater, library, museum and children's center. The architecture is dramatic as is the concept.
